Today's Teachers' Day, and everyone seemed to be excited to go back to their primary schools and see their old friends/teachers/school vendors/cleaners/whatever. So QZ, YF and I met at TP Central and had lunch at Gourmet Paradise. We were so happily walking into the school and when we saw Mdm Lam, we handed her the muffins that we made. So we wanted to find the teachers @ the G.O, but were unfortunately told by a person that the teachers are not in and told us to wait at the canteen until the teachers come at about 3. We sat down, saw some people, and chatted. Just as we were chatting and waiting for our teachers to come out, few people came and told all the ex-pupils to come another day.
Erm, excuse me, didn't you tell us to wait for the teachers at the canteen? (I didn't say that of course.)
I mean that's like so irresponsible, and it concerns so many people's time and efforts to come down? They could have just disallowed all ex-pupils to go in, or could have told us even before we settled down to wait. But they didn't. It's like going all so excited to see our teachers but in the end we were chased away without even having a glance at our teachers?
Rest assured, I'll never go back until this changes.
It annoys me whenever I see people leaving so much food uneaten.
In your eyes, it might just be some leftover food that you don't feel like eating anymore, but in another person's eyes, it might be the food that can help him survive.
Have you ever thought that there are about 10,000 people dying everyday due to hunger and malnutrition? All we care about is good food, delicacies. If the food isn't to our liking, we throw it away. But do you even know that there are people who survive on your leftover food? Yes, you don't see them in Singapore, but what about the forgotten parts of the world?
Here's a video I want to share. You might have watched it on the Andss Portal forum, but nevertheless, I think you'll definitely change your opinion about the food in your plate.
Chicken a la Carte
We, being people with good food to eat, gets picky sometimes. Yet people living at the corner of the Earth, are grateful for they have at least something to eat. We never know how fortunate we are, until we see people who are much more unfortunate, but are grateful for what they have. We tell our parents, "I don't want to eat that, not nice to eat!", but have the kids got a choice to choose? We do, and they don't, but we never seem to be more grateful than them.
So let's tell ourselves that we are a fortunate bunch of people, and be grateful for what we eat.
I've never believed that hiccups are contagious (in actual fact, it isn't). But somehow rather, Santhini, Amelia and I are all hiccuping today. Maybe it's something we ate, but hey, hiccups are not caused by food, so what's wrong?! Some hiccup germs?
In the morning it was me who was hiccuping, then when we went to lunch, Santhini was the one. Then after that Amelia also told us that she's having hiccups too.
And for goodness sake, I'm hiccupping when I'm typing this! :P
Shall try holding my breath for 30 seconds, if it doesn't work I shall drinking 7 gulps of water. Or maybe try the plastic bag one (Hi-5 said it).
P/S: I know this post is kind of lame because it's about hiccups and nothing contructive or educational. Too bad, because I've got the energy to type, but no stuff to right. Wait till I have both the stuff to write and the energy to type. :D
